Hunter Haas and Kris Blanks will miss the remainder of the 2012
season due to injury.

Haas, who is 149th in the FedExCup standings, announced on
Monday via Twitter that he’s undergoing hip surgery and will
be “out till next year.”

The 35-year-old made 12 cuts in 24 starts with one top 10 this
year. He last played in July at the Reno-Tahoe Open, where he tied
for 31st.

Blanks, meanwhile, is out with a shoulder injury. “Well
it's official, I'm shutting it down for the rest of the season.
Shoulder is still bothering me and I'm tired of hurting,” he
said via Twitter.

The 39-year-old made just 11 cuts in 23 starts with only one
finish in the top 25. He last played at last month’s John
Deere Classic, where he missed the cut. It was his third missed cut
in his last four starts.

Blanks, who is 138th in the FedExCup standings, was awaiting
word Monday evening on whether or not he would need surgery.
